New Vintage | 96 Points - Gary Walsh
Stoney Rise is owned and operated by Joe and Lou Holyman who have established a reputation for making some of Tasmania's finest wines. The 2024 Holyman Chardonnay is a wine of elegance and structure; stone fruit and citrus dominate the nose, while the palate is mouth filling and textured - finishing with customary impressive length and intensity.
Another beautifully complex Tasmanian Chardonnay that is already attracting plenty of attention, our limited stocks of the 2024 Holyman Chardonnay will not last long.
"96 Points. Grapefruit, white peach, lemon zest, aniseed, cinnamon and cedar oak, some vanilla and white flower perfume. It’s an intense and tightly-coiled wine, though it’s not lacking in pleasure factor even as a young wine. Bright grapefruity acidity, green olive, firm flinty and chalky texture, with a lively finish of excellent length. Mouth-watering and zesty to close. An excellent release, and while it’s good now, it’ll be even better with a couple more years in bottle. Tasted Oct25, 12% Alc, $65”- Gary Walsh, The Wine Front 2025.
